eBenefits as a Trigger Point

[green]

I completely understand how people can become so angry watching their claims in eBenefits. 

I filed a FDC (secondary conditions including peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy) starting last December.  My claim included all my VA medical records that pertain to the secondary conditions, I also supplied a EMG exam that did prove I have PN in hands and feet.  I finished my C&P exams in August (all very favorable and in agreement with my claims) and have watched the status ping-pong for the last few months. 

The claim was in Prep for Notification for 11 days and then went back to Preparation for Decision for 8 days and today it is in Gathering of Evidence.  I guess I just don't understand the process.  If you submit a Fully Developed Claim, why would it need to go back to Gathering of Evidence (outside of the C&P exam)?

I know there are many of you that have been waiting longer than I have to have your claims resolved, I don't know how you do it and maintain any measure of sanity or sense of perspective.

I am happy to see new claims seem to be flying through.

Mine however......was closed due to incompetence on VARO side.

Now Stuck in limbo land. With any luck, maybe I'll get a C&P next year.
